It's because the D-18's iconic tone sits "just right," cutting through and holding its own without overbearing other instruments. Whether you're playing solo or in a full bluegrass jam, your D-18's rich tone will always be heard without fighting with vocals or covering up the low-end impact from the bass player.The choice of session guitarists for decades The Martin D-18's tonality is just as useful in your studio as onstage. Just ask any recording engineer who's been in the business for a couple decades: the D-18 has an uncanny ability to set itself into any mix nicely, with a minimum of processing. Sure, that jumbo-body rosewood guitar looks great, but you'll be rolling off low frequencies and carefully adjusting compressors to prevent it from getting too boomy or indistinct in the final mix. Just grab your Martin D-18, point your favorite small-diaphragm condenser mic at the 12th fret, and you've got a sound that practically mixes itself.Part of modern music's history You've already heard the sweet sound of the Martin D-18 more times than you probably realize. That's because it was the choice guitar of legends such as Clarence White, Elvis Presley, and many more. Even Andy Griffith played one on "The Andy Griffith Show." The Martin D-18 is a perfect example of an instrument that became iconic purely based on its tone and craftsmanship.Martin D-18 Street Legend Acoustic Guitar Features: Worn satin finish directly modeled after instruments in Martin’s guitar museum Aged open-gear tuners and a satin-aged pickguard to match the distressed finish An iconic Martin guitar with a focused tone that sits well with a wide variety of instruments Solid spruce top for amazing projection and great note definition Mahogany back and sides for a well-balanced tonal range Focused low-frequency response that sounds tight, never boomy Comfortably slim Modified Low Oval mahogany neck with a beautifully refined 16-inch-radius ebony fingerboard 1-3/4-inch nut width is both slim enough for flatpicking and wide enough for fingerstyle players Old-school forward-shifted X bracing results in an exceptionally lively tone, sporting plenty of Martin’s signature low-end thump SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Dreadnought Back & Sides Wood Mahogany Top Wood Spruce Top Finish Satin Color Custom Ink Body Bracing Forward Shifted X Brace Neck Wood Mahogany Neck Shape Modified Low Oval Radius 16" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Abalone Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25.4" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Bone Bridge Material Ebony Tuning Machines Nickel Open Gear Strings Lifespan 2.0 92/8 Phosphor Bronze, .013-.056 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
